>Peter,
>My reaction would be no, no:) You can make the form modal but do not use "do while" to check if it's closed. You can use a timer instead or hook to word events with eventhandler and check word is closing.

I agree. But I have never used event handlers outside of VFp
I would like to be able to some have my prgram know when word is closed

thanks
